WORDPRESS: Build out online forms that integrate with paypal and email autoresponder
Budjetti $250-750 USD
I am the webmaster for a wordpress website ( w c k o dot org) On this page we have a "registration" section, this section needs a bunch of work.
1. I need to revise the existing registration forms so that they not only are integrated with paypal and we can accept payment , but also integrated with an email autoresponder (mailchimp probably, we can it to be free for the first subscribers) so we can send out emails and download the spreadsheet for each one.
2. Each individual registration form will have its own price and will have its own mailing list in mailchimp so we can communicate to each group on its own.
3. All the forms should look professional and like a document, so there should be some light css work to make the forms look professional.
4. In addition to the ones we have on the page already, we are going to need to add more forms from this website: (http://wkausa. Com / [url removed, login to view] )
5. In total these are the forms that we need to make that must be integrated with paypal and mailchimp and have their own list:
-Federation Association Registration Form
-Gym Registration Form
-Fighters/Member Registration
-Seminar Registration Form
-Event Registration Form (one that will not have a price, but it should have its own email list that is integrated so we can donwload the database)
-Cornerman Registration Form
-Official Registration Form (one that will not have a price, but it should have its own email list that is integrated so we can donwload the database)
-Promoter Registration Form
-Fighter Medical (the forms will be edited for you, but the button for this will be a different color)
6. The forms from the other site will be pretty much the same as the one already there,same fields, but we will switch up the text a little bit and also the look should be different so it matches out brand and looks like official document with logo up top, etc. (css edit)
So there will be a total of 10 mailing lists, 8 of them will be integrated with paypal also.
Please let me know any questions, how you would get this done and show me any similar projects that you have completed in the past so I know you can get the job done. Thank you

Have you visited the SQL Server 2005 Express Downloads page lately?
there are so many great tools that you can download, including Reporting Services and a "Business Intelligence Studio" for designing reports, which really surprised me (since you never could use Reporting Services with the previous free versions of SQL). Don't forget Books On-Line for SQL 2005 as well.
I am going to start a new series of posts on SQL Server 2005 in the coming weeks, with my usual focus on T-SQL as opposed to Administration and DBA stuff. There are *lots* of very cool things we can do using the new features in 2005 that make solving many of those "classic" SQL problems very easy.
So download it and install it already! It's free!

SORC seeks second venue
HALSEY - - The Sandhills Open Road Challenge (SORC) board of directors, came to the Halsey Elementary School gym Sept. 21 to invite area residents to "grab the chance to enhance your economy." Since its conception, SORC has stimulated a positive economic impact to Custer County. Board members Joe Shown, Donny Olson, Clay Mohr, and Alan, Becky and Brock Dailey, came to invite the residents of Thomas and Blaine counties to do the same. Joe Shown, with the aid of a video presentation produced by Arnold students, explained what SORC is, the rules governing its annual occurrence and how they (the board) would assist in getting a similar road race to happen along the 14 mile stretch of paved road between Halsey, in Thomas County and Purdum, in Blaine County "These drivers and their families come from all over. There are only three such races in the United States - Nevada, Texas and Nebraska. Drivers who attend all three have complimented us on being the best. "It is due primarily to the friendliness and hospitality of the people here." Joe explained. "Anything we can do to help keep them in central Nebraska a little longer has a huge positive impact on the economics of our communities." Becky went on to comment that Arnold looks forward to this race every year. "Yes, it is a lot of work, but it is like welcoming family back. They love to come to Nebraska. They love the wide open spaces and the hospitality shown." "The first step is going to the county commissioners in both counties and getting the permission to close the road for most of the day," Becky explained. "Land owners must all be on board with this. Several were hesitant at first, but when all the questions concerning liability and such were answered, they too showed their support. SORC covers all the aspects of insurance." Joe added, "The number one priority is safety – for the drivers, the spectators, the volunteers. Anyone helping with the race is covered. " "Volunteers are the key". Joe continued. "If you do not have enough of them, this will not be successful." It was estimated 20 volunteers alone will be needed along the route during the race. "Again, for safety's sake, every aspect of that road must have eyes on it." Joe passed around sign-up sheets in the audience for those willing to step up and help make this race possible. Thomas County Sheriff Gary Eng, was concerned with the small number of EMTs the two counties have, if something were to happen requiring medical personnel. The SORC board members stated they would have some of their volunteers on hand. "Thomas County Fire and Rescue and EMTs have volunteered their help on the main race day for years, I think we can reciprocate," said Joe. After the meeting, Red Chrisitensen invited those interested to form a committee to attend the upcoming SORC meeting. Even though the commissioners have not had the chance to endorse this event, the 70-plus residents at the meeting appeared to. If you would like more information, or would like to volunteer to be a part of this new leg of SORC, contact Red Christensen or Dave Masek.

In SSAS, data structures do not always conform to the snowflake or star schema model where one fact is associated with a single dimension member. For example, consider the example of financial transactions in accounts that can have one or more customers. This can be modeled as:
The relationship between transaction and customer is a many-to-many relationship. A single transaction can be associated with many customers and each customer can be associated with many transactions. For example, I can have an individual account as well as a joint account with my wife. So a single transaction in our joint account means that transaction is associated with many customers (my wife and I), and each customer (me) can be associated with many transactions (all my transactions for my individual account and my joint account).
In the example picture above, there are two dimensions and two fact tables. The Customer dimension is the Many-to-Many (MM) dimension to the Transaction fact table. The CustomerAccount measure group is the Intermediate Fact Table (called a bridge table in the relational world) and Account is the intermediate dimension. The intermediate fact table is the fact table that relates the Many-to-Many dimension to the regular dimension. In this case, it relates the Customer dimension to Account dimension. The Transaction fact table is related to Customer in the conventional manner, but is also related to the Customer dimension via a many-to-many relationship.

Four members of the Thomas family are memorialized at Hood College: Ella Virginia Thomas, her son George Frank, her daughter Julia Elizabeth, and her son-in-law Clyde Eugene Thomas. Lifelong residents of Frederick County, Md., the Thomas family are descendants of John Thomas, who migrated to this country from Klein-Schifferstadt, Germany, in 1730.
The Rosemont Avenue gateway to Hood College is named in memory of Ella Virginia Thomas, and was a gift from Julia E. and Clyde E. Thomas and G. Frank Thomas. Born in Adamstown, Md. on April 29, 1860, she was the daughter of D. Peter and Elizabeth R. Remsburg Thomas. On November 12, 1885, she married Stephen Albert Thomas, and they lived on the Thomas family homestead in Adamstown, a 189-acre farm near Sugarloaf Mountain.
The Thomases had four children: William H., who died shortly after birth; George Frank; Julia; and Genevieve. Mrs. Thomas' interests centered on her family and she was a devout member of Trinity Evangelical Reformed Church in Adamstown. She died in 1956 at age 96 and is buried in the Church Hill Cemetery in Adamstown.
The Magnolia Avenue gateway and the Thomas Athletic Field behind Coblentz Hall are named in memory of George Frank Thomas, known by his friends and family as G. Frank. A well-known and respected businessman, he was born in Adamstown in 1886, attended Frederick County Public Schools and was a summa cum laude graduate of Western Maryland College. Inheriting a love of farming from his father, he took an interest in the feed, grain and canning business and founded the Adamstown Canning and Supply Company. Later he bought and operated several canneries in Gaithersburg. His companies specialized in canning peas, corn, tomatoes and sauerkraut. The Frederick Trading Company, a well-known Frederick hardware distribution company, was founded by G. Frank Thomas as a subsidiary of the original Thomas Company.
Active in civic, cultural and religious affairs, G. Frank was a trustee of Western Maryland College and the Home for the United Church of Christ, serving as an elder, treasurer, a member of the Consistory and Sunday School teacher.
Six months prior to his death he married his secretary, Catherine Betson. Proceeds from the estate of G. Frank and Catherine Betson Thomas established the G. Frank Thomas Foundation which has funded scholarships at Hood College. G. Frank Thomas died June 18, 1965, and is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery.
Julia Elizabeth Thomas was born on August 7, 1893, in Adamstown. A 1914 graduate of Hood College, she was active in community and civic affairs and an active member of Calvary Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday School. She married her cousin, Clyde Eugene Thomas, who was born June 26, 1891, the son of Curtis William and Abbie Lavina Thomas. Clyde Thomas graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in 1912, where a residence hall is named in his honor.
Interested in real estate and farming, Clyde Thomas was a founder with his brother-in-law of the Frederick Trading Company and served many years as chairman of the board. He was also a member of the Board of Directors and contributed generously to Frederick Memorial Hospital and was an active alumnus of Franklin and Marshall College. Prior to going into the hardware business he had worked in his brother-in-law's canning business. He was a Rotarian and active in numerous service organizations. A devout member of Calvary Methodist Church, he was a trustee, chairman of a drive to build the Christian education building, and a member and teacher of the Leaders Bible Class.
Mr. Thomas was president of the Hood College Board of Trustees from 1964-1966. The annex to the Apple Academic Resource Center (formerly the library), completed in 1962, was named in honor of Julia E. and Clyde E. Thomas.
A foster daughter, LaRue Thomas Bryce, graduated from Hood in 1936.
Clyde Thomas died June 18, 1965, and is buried beside Julia, who died May 19, 1987. Both are buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Frederick.
The sister of G. Frank and Julia, Genevieve Thomas Fravel, graduated from Hood College in 1916; a cousin, Lucille Thomas Sykes, graduated from Hood in 1937.

MADRID (MarketWatch) — Europe's stocks ended mostly lower Monday after investors were rattled by a weak batch of Chinese data and a downgrade for Italy that came at the end of last week.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.10% fell 0.1% to 295.26 after closing on Friday at a 4½ -year high of 295.55. The index has gained ground for three consecutive weeks.
Friday's run was inspired by stronger-than-expected U.S. nonfarm-payrolls data. But markets on Monday were contending with some headwinds, as data from China over the weekend showed growth in industrial output and retail sales softening and inflation rising. See: China inflation climbs; other indicators soften.
U.S. stocks opened lower on Monday, also pressured by China data, then turned mixed. See: U.S. stocks waver after Chinese data.
"I think it's quite a healthy reaction to the newsflow…because European growth data was also quite weak," said Frances Hudson, global strategist for Standard Life Investments. French industrial production dropped against expectations for a rise.
"China disappointed on consumption and industrial production, suggesting they're struggling to get the economy rejigged with greater focus on consumption, I'd have been more concerned if the market had gone up," Hudson said.
Friday's downgrade of Italy's sovereign-credit rating to BBB-plus from A- minus also weighed. Fitch cited an inconclusive outcome to last month's parliamentary elections, which the ratings firm said will complicate an already deep recession. See: Fitch downgrades Italy to BBB plus.
Stephen Pope, managing partner at Spotlight Ideas, said the main concern for markets Monday was that the downgrade reinforced "the perception that the nation, post the recent election, is ungovernable and that a second election is all but certain."
"This carries huge implications for labor-market and general economic reform in the third largest economy of the currency bloc," he said in emailed comments.
Italian banks led some of the biggest decliners of the day, with Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna SCA BPE, -2.18% down 4.4% and Mediobanca Banca di Credito Finanziario SpA MB, -1.11% down more than 5%. UniCredit SpA UCG, -0.48% fell 1.2% and Intesa Sanpaolo SpA ISP, -0.77% dropped 0.7%.
The FTSEMIB Italy index XX:FTSEMIB fell 0.7% to 16,091.98.
The index was underpinned by Fiat Industrial SpA IT:FI which rose 0.3% after analysts at Deutsche Bank lifted the shares to buy from hold.
Among other peripheral markets, the Spain IBEX 35 index IBEX, -0.11% fell 0.9% to 8,554.40. Shares of Banco Santander SA SAN, -0.69% SAN, +0.20% fell 1.4%. And BBVA SA BBVA, +0.81% BBVA, -0.86% fell 0.5% even as analysts at Société Générale upgraded it to hold from sell.
Banks came under pressure elsewhere on Monday. Shares of DNB ASA DNB, -0.06% Norway's biggest bank, dropped 2.4%. The bank reportedly said late last week it will raise lending rates to clients to pass on tougher rules by the government aimed at cooling off housing markets.
But that came as London's own banks fell after the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards urged the government to lift the capital banks hold against their loan books.
The FTSE 100 index UKX, +0.03% gained 0.3% to close at 6,503.63, with shares of Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC RBS, +0.48% RBS, +0.12% down 1.6% and Barclays PLC BCS, +1.06% BARC, +0.23% off 2.2%. Supporting the index, shares of Vodafone PLC VOD, -0.31% VOD, -0.69% rose 0.8%.
Other indexes registered some mild losses. The German DAX 30 index DAX, -0.22% declined less than 0.1% to 7,984.29, with shares of Bayer AG BAYN, +2.22% off 1.2% after analysts at Citigroup removed the health-care firm from their Focus List Europe.
But weaker banks remained a theme. Shares of Deutsche Bank AG DBK, -1.04% fell 1.1%.
The French CAC 40 index PX1, -0.08% fell 0.1% to 3,836.27, with Veolia Environnement SA VIE, -0.41% down 2.6% after Goldman Sachs cut the shares to neutral from buy. Shares of Credit Agricole SA ACA, -0.35% fell 0.9%.
On the upside, shares of ArcelorMittal SA MT, -0.71% rose 0.9% after UBS lifted the steelmaker to buy from neutral.

Viviano to helm Lowe Healthcare agencies
The Lowe Healthcare network includes ICC, the four agencies comprising it, and two other health-focused shops. As CEO of ICC, Viviano will continue to oversee its offices—professional shop Trio, device and medical technology unit Redshift and London-based Brand (x), along with flagship ICC. The president of Interlink and the general manager of Pace, Lowe's two other East Coast healthcare offices, will now also report to him.
Viviano still reports to Sal Perreca, network chairman. Paul O'Neill has been promoted from general manager to president in charge of the flagship office's day-to-day operations.
"As general manager, Paul has been an integral part of ICC's success over the past three years," said Viviano. "Having him take over full day-to-day control of the office will allow me to focus on growing all of Lowe Healthcare and in charting a strategic direction for the network. In addition, with Paul now overseeing Redshift, Paul's prowess at bringing in new business will bear fruit in the medical technology arena as well."
Other senior-level title changes and hires within the network are set to be announced in coming weeks.
An additional group under the ICC umbrella, ICC Thermal Digital, launched in the fourth quarter. Chief digital officer Eugene Lee, hired last April, runs the unit, whose work includes tablet PC and interactive promotion.Thermal won four new assignments in that area from Johnson & Johnson/Pricara: pain drug Nucynta, bladder pill Elmiron and contraceptives Evra and Lo. Two more digital assignments came from Ferring—one for infertility product Bravelle where the agency just completed a new iPad sales aid, and Lysteda, where ICC will be handling all the interactive market development work prior to launch plus the brand launch on iPad and interactive platforms.

Deal With Providence Equity Implies $7 Billion Value for Online Car Marketplace
Cox Enterprises Inc., the closely held media conglomerate, has bought back a stake in AutoTrader Group Inc. in a deal that implies a value of about $7 billion for the online auto marketplace.
AutoTrader, based in Atlanta, charges auto dealers to list vehicles and sells them software services. Cox sold a 25% stake in the company to Providence Equity Partners LLC in 2010. Now Cox is buying it back for $1.8 billion, according to a person familiar with the transaction. The sale, along with a $100 million dividend AutoTrader paid...

"Our work with the University of Michigan is helping us develop the next generation of Ford hybrids and bring them to market even faster." –Ryan McGee, supervisor of vehicle controls architecture and algorithm design at Ford Motor Co.'s Research and Advanced Engineering group
OK – it's no secret that the Japanese (specifically Toyota) beat U.S. automakers to the punch with hybrid vehicles. However, that situation is changing – and changing fast – as Ford Motor Co. and General Motors are now quickly deploying more fuel efficient hybrid vehicles across a range of models.
And that could be very important as fuel prices still demonstrate extreme volatility, even as the global recession continues to tamp down petroleum demand.
For starters, Ford and the University of Michigan are working together to speed up "virtual testing" of hybrid components; conducting as many as 175,000 design simulations of hybrid control systems a week to further improve fuel efficiency and drivability.
Researchers at both Ford and the university are also analyzing data from 2,500 road trips to determine how internal electronic vehicle controls could be tweaked to further improve fuel efficiency and fun-to-drive attributes.
So far, Ford and the university have tested nearly 1 million design simulations of hybrid vehicle control systems to date, focusing on marrying fuel economy and drivability.
Though this "virtual research" of hybrid technology is still in its infancy, the automaker says initial results are promising.
"Working together with the University of Michigan research team, we are testing the boundaries of hybrid vehicle technology, exploring innovative ways to raise the bar on fuel economy and drivability," said Dr. Gerhard Schmidt, chief technical officer for Ford's Research and Advanced Engineering group.
[Here's a look at Ford's 2010 Fusion Hybrid sedan and how new designs seek to improve driver understanding of fuel saving options.]
Through September, Ford has sold 26,016 hybrid vehicles, up 73% versus the same period in 2008, according to figures from Autodata Inc. Moving forward, Ford said it also plans to produce a pure battery electric version of its new Transit Connect commercial van in 2010, a battery electric Focus compact car in 2011, and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and next-generation hybrid electric vehicle in 2012.
GM is following a similar path, using new math and simulation-based tools from private sector firm MathWorks to speed up its hybrid development process. GM noted it developed the next-generation prototype of its "Two-Mode" hybrid powertrain control system in 9 months using these "virtual testing" tools – shaving 24 months off the expected development time.
Also, by verifying the control system before hardware prototyping and by using production code generated from the controller models, GM said it rolled out production vehicles featuring the hybrid powertrain within four years of starting the control system design process. To date, its complex two-mode hybrid system is currently available with the GMC Sierra Hybrid, GMC Yukon Hybrid, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, Chevy Silverado Hybrid, and Cadillac Escalade Hybrid vehicles.
The ability to reuse design information has helped GM's global development teams foster more efficient communication and reduced response time, eliminating integration issues, said Larry Nitz, GM executive director of hybrid and electric powertrains.
"It helps us work at a higher level of abstraction, allowing us to verify designs early," he noted "This ability to simulate and correct systems before committing to hardware allows us to try new control strategies virtually, while the use of production code generation accelerates design iterations and eliminates translation errors common in hand coding."
In the end, it all boils down to one thing – delivering more fuel efficient hybrid vehicles to the market faster and with (hopefully) higher initial quality. That in turn will hopefully encourage wider sales of hybrids by consumers and thus lead to a reduction in U.S. petroleum consumption. That's the hope hybrid technology offers -- at least from where I sit.

It doesn't imply or assume any such thing.
And if someone legitimately "needs a gun that quickly", then I would suggest they should instead head for the local police station.
The police don't hand out or sell guns for personal protection. And it's highly doubtful they'll send an officer to be someone's personal security for a while.
If someone legitimately "needs a gun that quickly", then I would suggest to you that there is absolutely something the police can do regarding the situation. Otherwise, that individual really doesn't "need a gun that quickly".

Editor's Note: This guest post by one of our Student Managers, Nils Niemeier, is a must-read for any fan of Woody Guthrie. It accompanies the new display put together by Nils on the second floor of Boatwright Library in the study area. Enjoy!
Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) may have only lived to be 55, but his legacy has had a continuous impact on American music, both in the folk scene and outside of it. Born in Okemah, Oklahoma, Guthrie took to music as a way to support his first wife and three children during the Great Depression, traveling all over the western United States, playing concerts and radio programs and doing itinerant labor. He finally settled in California in 1937, where he made a name for himself as a social commentator and musician on local radio stations. He soon became tired of life in California, and headed east to New York in 1940, where he met Alan Lomax and recorded several hours of music and conversation with him for the Library of Congress. In 1941, he joined the Almanac Singers, a pro-Communist, anti-Fascist group of musicians with whom Guthrie wrote many songs urging action against the Fascists in Europe (though the Almanacs had been against US entry into the war prior to the breaking of Hitler's nonaggression pact with Stalin). While in New York, Guthrie had his own radio program, and made money for himself and his family through his recordings. Still a rambler, he traveled constantly across the United States. Unfortunately, this constant traveling contributed to the dissolution of his first marriage.
By 1942, Guthrie was writing, and he published his semi-fictionalized autobiography, Bound for Glory, in 1943. Around the same time, Guthrie enlisted in the US military, first in the Merchant Marine, and then in the Army. All the while he continued writing songs. Following the end of the war, Guthrie married his second wife, and settled down on Coney Island, where he lived until 1954. They had three children together. He continued writing songs and books, including several albums for children. It was also during the 1940s that he began showing signs of developing Huntington's disease (which he inherited from his mother). In 1954, he left his second wife and their children to go to California, where he met his third wife and had a daughter by her. The rise in anti-Communist feeling and black-listings in California during the 1950s, however, caused him to head east again, this time to Florida, where he lived on a friend's property and began working on a second book. As his symptoms worsened, though, Guthrie and his third wife went back to New York. In 1958, he was diagnosed with Huntington's and was admitted to Greystone Psychiatric Hospital, where he lived out the rest of his days. His hospital room became a mecca for young musicians who wished to play for or learn from him. He died in 1967.
In total, over the span of his life, Guthrie wrote nearly 3000 songs, and two books. He also left behind an extensive portfolio of paintings and drawings, as well as numerous letters and unfinished writings.
In light of the centennial of his birth, and given the enormous impact Guthrie had on the folk music movement in the United States, I have put together a small exhibit of just a fraction of the books and recordings by and about Woody Guthrie in our physical and electronic holdings. Here are some excerpts from the exhibit text to pique your interest:
The first edition of Guthrie's autobiography, with a letter to Harry Zollars written in the endpapers. The letter outlines Guthrie's personal political philosophy during the years of the Second World War: "…we will either soon have a union world or a fascist one—and even then the fascist one couldn't do any more than postpone the Union world—a bad and terrible and useless and bloody delay—so let's have Union—because Union is the sum total of all ideals and all religion."
Alan Lomax, known for his collections of American folk songs and field recordings of folk and traditional music made for the Library of Congress, became one of Guthrie's greatest musical allies. As evidenced in the letter from Lomax, he held Guthrie in high regard. With Lomax and Pete Seeger, Guthrie wrote notes for the songs included in the collection of union, work, and protest songs, Hard Hitting Songs for Hard-Hit People, which was not published until 1967 due to the controversial nature of the lyrics included, many of which exhibited a pro-union bias. Not long after Guthrie became associated with Lomax, he also became a member of the Almanac Singers in 1941, a pro-Soviet group featuring Lee Hays, Pete Seeger, and Millard Lampell (among others. Including Lomax's wife, Bess, and briefly, Burl Ives), that strongly supported US intervention in the Second World War following Hitler's violation of the non-aggression pact with Stalinist Russia.
The letter on the left-hand page is Guthrie's open letter to the Library of Congress thanking them for the preservation of his songbook; in it, he jokingly hopes that members of Congress will gather around and sing his songs, especially "the most radical tunes." He jokes, too, that if members of Congress knew that he was going to be published, they would have "cut my original book down by half. Thank goodness we got it through."
The letter on the right-hand page is a more serious plea to R. P. Weatherald of RCA Victor to consider publishing an album of "war songs [as] work songs" to motivate the people to work toward the American war effort and defeat the fascists.
Guthrie's personal impact on the American Folk genre sometimes overshadows his work with other musicians. In addition to his solo recordings, Guthrie performed and recorded with many musicians, including those involved with anti-Fascist, Popular-Front group, The Almanac Singers, prior to and during the Second World War. Some of the musicians with whom Guthrie was associated were Sonny Terry, Cisco Houston, Pete Seeger, Leadbelly, and Brownie McGhee.
If you are interested in Guthrie's life, work, and music, feel free to browse the University of Richmond Libraries Catalog (http://library.richmond.edu), or see the exhibit in the Second Floor Study Area in Boatwright Library. You can also learn more about Guthrie's life and music at the official Woody Guthrie Foundation website (http://www.woodyguthrie.org).

Last time we looked at biker specific terms, the lingo used by bikers allowing you not to stand out in a crowd of bikers. But it's not only this general terms that you'd need to know, but there's also a bunch of terms related to motorcycles.
Here are several motorcycle-specific terms:
ABS – Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a safety system that allows the wheels on a motorcycle to continue interacting with the road surface as directed by biker steering inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (that is, ceasing rotation) and therefore avoiding skidding.
Ape Hangers – Ape hanger handlebars rise far above the mounting location so that the rider must reach up to use them, hence the name. They are popular on chopper motorcycles. They are available in heights up to 20 inches. Some jurisdictions have regulations on how high the handgrips may be above the seat.
Bagger – A motorcycle equipped with saddlebags and other touring amenities.
Beemer – BMW
Rice Burner – Japanese sportsbike
BHP – Brake horse power. A unit of measurement for engine power output.
Blinkers – Turn Signals
Bob, Bobbers, Bobbed or Bobbing – A bobber is a custom motorcycle that usually has had the front fender removed, the rear fender "bobbed" or made smaller, and all superfluous parts removed to make it lighter This was all part of the early customizing done by the returning WWII fighter pilots.
Brake horsepower – Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox, alternator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump, muffled exhaust system, etc

Both meanings have their roots in the 1960s British Rocker or Ton-up boy subculture, although the type of motorcycles were also common in Italy, France and other European countries. The term refers to a style of motorcycles that were and are used for fast rides from one coffee bar to another.

Chopper – A chopper is a type of motorcycle that was either modified from an original motorcycle design ("chopped") or built from scratch to have a hand-crafted appearance. The main features of a chopper that make it stand out are its longer frame design accompanied by a stretch front end, or increased rake angle.

Debunking Some of the Key Myths in Chiropractic
Dear Editor:
Myth #1: We cannot detect a subluxation by hand. Fact: I have read in disbelief that it is impossible to detect a subluxation manually. These ideas are promoted and foisted upon the profession by our own educators and leaders. To say this with a straight face to a group whose primary activity is to detect and correct the subluxation is beyond belief.
Apparently, we need better college adjusting technique instruction. True, it is difficult to find a truly good structural correction in the profession at large. One must be trained by an expert or have innate ability for this work. Also, it is difficult to do a proper analysis through clothing.
Myth #2: The concept of subluxation is outmoded. Fact: This idea is also promoted by our educators and leaders. These myths basically spring from a sense of fear. In this case, it is feared that we will lose scientific acceptance. Sure, it's great to have scientific studies to back up what you do. But all the studies I have read already do so. If you think the concept of the subluxation runs counter to scientific acceptance, what about your gut feeling about chiropractic? We who know that chiropractic works, know it with certainty because of experience and repeated success with our patients.
The new concept of embracing a neuromusculoskeletal model and other things while abandoning the subluxation correction, along with a deficiency of talented adjusting skills, has occasioned a decrease in the popularity of chiropractic. We used to read that 10-15 percent of the public were chiropractic patients. Now it is about 7 percent. Does that not tell you something about what we are doing?
Myth #3: We must sacrifice our souls for the insurance companies and the government. Fact: With due respect to those who have done so much to see that we satisfy insurance and Medicare requirements, it is not necessary to go all out and spend more time on documentation and paperwork. First, in the case of electronic billing, the result of not going electronic is merely that you receive slightly lower insurance reimbursement. This doesn't matter if we collect from the patient to begin with.
Second, Medicare is not doing as much auditing of chiropractors now. They are gearing up for issues with electronic billing. In my office, we use a system of Medicare billing over the phone, but not electronic records. The system is available from Medicare and works very well.
Audits are generally not done on conscientious chiropractors; i.e., those who do the job right the first time and therefore do not have to see the patient three times or more a week. By the way, how can you see these people over and over, doing the same adjustment all the time? If I had to go to work every day knowing I had to do that, I would get bored quickly and feel highly inadequate. In fact, I would promulgate the myths of this article myself.
Myth #4: We need to do all we can to market our practices. Fact: Do a good job and word of mouth will be your best advertisement. Stand firmly on what you believe and act accordingly, not out of fear, greed or a sense of inferiority. There are good techniques out there. Learn to use them properly and thoroughly, and they will serve you well. Personally, I use the technique my father developed and that was the foundation for a great career. Regardless, be not afraid. There is a relieving answer to every problem.

We Will Not Become a Bunch of Drug-Prescribing Crazies
Dear Editor:
I very much enjoyed the letter to the editor in your Jan. 15, 2013 issue by Thomas Albert, MD, DC. I think he hit it on the head. I know a few MD-DC doctors and not a single one has abandoned chiropractic or its principles by choosing to only use drugs and surgery in their practice.
Adopting prescription rights will not be the end of this profession. How can we act in the role of true primary care without the ability to modify or adjust a patient's medications? The ICA membership and its leaders need to rethink their positions and recognize that this profession is not going disappear or change into a bunch of drug-prescribing crazies if we have access to prescriptive drugs. Dr. Albert and others with the same training as his are proof of this.
The ultraconservative in our profession seem to believe it's smart to bring a knife to a gun fight. Hopefully our profession will be smarter than this before it's too late and not insist on learning the hard way.
Vernon Redd, DC, APC

Gross Injury of the Day: Alan Patrick Pulls Out of UFC 179 Due to Horrifying Fractured Jaw [UPDATED]
(The "before" picture, via Getty)
Undefeated Brazilian lightweight Alan Patrick has withdrawn from his UFC 179 matchup with Beneil Dariush due to a fractured jaw suffered in training. Patrick sustained the injury last Thursday while sparring at X-Gym in Rio de Janeiro. As he told Sherdog:
"I was training and was hit by a knee. I was using a mouthguard, but it hit the bottom of my mouth. I have never been hit by such a knee before. It went right into my chin. Now, I will have to put a titanium plate on my chin. If I wasn't going to be hit anymore, I wouldn't have to do it, but as a fighter, I have to be cautious…In about a month, I'll be able to resume doing cardio, and after another month, I'll resume with the soft-contact training. I expect to fight in December."
We have placed a photo of Patrick's injury after the jump, because honestly, it's too gross to leave on the homepage. Brace yourself…Read More DIGG THIS

Excellent customer service today from Rita in the Office to the technician, Dillon, that came out. Was in a bind when my Garage Door would not close after he Opener being installed in August, 2016. It would stop about 3′ off the ground and automatically reverse. I had to head to DIA in 4 hours and could not secure he house. Even though it was Saturday morning, Rita suggested a couple of things to try to no avail. So, she said she would get me on the schedule and have someone out within an hour to an hour and a half. Dillon called 15 min before arriving, came out, adjusted the door track, serviced the door while here and was very efficient and courteous. Turned out not to be an Opener problem, but an issue with the quality of the door and track that Oakwood Homes had installed. I have relied on Overhead Garage Door for years and will continue to do so. They are definitely a Customer Service oriented company! I highly recommend them.read more

We had a small dent in two of the panels that they let me know of right away and had called their boss right away to let him know so he could get them replaced. I was just so happy to work with overhead door to get the door and opener that makes our house stand out from the neighbors. You have a great staff and I've already recommended you guys to others.

My family has been doing business with Overhead Door for over 50 years. Called for same day service, Paul came out, and told me he'd just sold the last one of our springs of the truck, but that they could make it on order, because the wire was in stock at the shop. Put me off for a week, then notified me at the last minute they didn't have the wire and couldn't do the job. I called on the day scheduled and they said I was on the list. Waited for 4 hours, called in, only to be told about the wire.. Update: Chris called me yesterday, apologized profusely, and did indeed offer to do the work for free. Unfortunately I had already called another company, but I appreciate the offer. When a business makes a mistake, but then does everything it can to make it right, that's all you can ask. Based on my long experience with the company, I agree this was probably an aberration, and would say they've done everything they could to fix the situation. I would use them again.read more

Rated for temperatures down to -40F, the Sorel Caribou Boot is an iconic, tried and true staple fit for anyone's winter wardrobe.Shop Now
The name Sorel has become practically synonymous with quality winter boots. This shouldn't come as surprise, especially when you consider the brand's birthplace of Ontario—a place where harsh winter weather is simply a part of life. Although the Sorel brand wasn't founded until 1962, the beginnings of the world's most trusted winter boot can be traced to the early 20th century.
A son of German immigrants, Jacob Kaufman founded the Kaufman Rubber Co. in Kitchener, Ontario in 1907. The plant opened with over 300 employees and began producing rubber footwear for fisherman, miners, and policemen. The business grew, and by the late '50s the groundwork had been laid that would make production of the world's best winter boots possible.
The Sorel line of winter boots was introduced in 1962, and they were an instant hit. Sorel boots―with their vulcanized rubber, waterproof leather shafts, and removable felt liners―garnered a loyal following among farmers, hunters, and working men, and the boots were sold by farm stores, tire shops, and traditional winter footwear retailers. For the remainder of the century, the Kaufman family ran the business and the Sorel line of boots continued to be manufactured in Ontario.
In 2000, following a series of warm winters, Sorel was forced to declare bankruptcy. Columbia Sportswear Co. acquired the Sorel trademark and went work revitalizing the brand's image. While Columbia continued to produce the popular Caribou line of boots for the traditional Sorel customer, it made strategic moves to reach a new audience. That new audience primarily consisted of fashion-minded female consumers.
The new Sorel boots maintained traditional Sorel elements like vulcanized rubber and faux fur trim, but included slimmer silhouettes and sexy heights. By 2010, the fashion-forward boots were featured in Vogue ads and it became clear that Sorel boots were part of a rapidly growing fashion trend.
Today, Sorel's product line still encompasses its traditional designs, but also extends far beyond the winter-worthy boots that first bore the name. From cushy slippers, to rain boots, to a casual pair of low-top sneakers, Sorel has a footwear choice for nearly every sensibility, and every occasion. When the weather turns cold, whether in city streets or the Arctic Circle, you can count on spotting more than a few pairs of Sorels.

STILLPOINT Archive: last updated 05/30/2012
by Bruce Herman
I've known Mark Sargent for almost two decades and count him a dear personal friend with whom I can bare my soul. I also have the deepest professional regard for this man and have collaborated with him on many of Gordon's most demanding committees: the college Senate, core curriculum committee, faculty searches, campus events planning, and other institutional contexts. I've had the privilege to observe him act on the most delicate of personnel decisions where the highest integrity and practical wisdom are required, and I've seen him live and act with grace through some of the hardest moments of our shared history over the past few years.
What I have witnessed in all these circumstances are the marks of character one rarely sees in such rich combination: depth of compassion and decisive toughness of mind; intellectual insight and fiscal perspicacity; philosophical nuance and practical political skill. And of course this mix of moral and intellectual character is exactly what has been needed at Gordon over the years of Mark's tenure here. Without his particular giftedness this institution would have been far less likely to develop into the uniquely trusting, warm, rigorous academic community we know.
Mark is a man who understands the subtleties of larger cultural stories and how those narratives are always embedded and incarnated in personal, local realities. His intellectual stature is at a level that commands the respect of Gordon's faculty and his personal winsomeness and wisdom are the virtues that have fostered an atmosphere of high rigor and simultaneous warmth and collegiality here. Mark's language and style are substantive yet casual, decisive yet open. He is a listener and a thinker—but he is also a man of vision and tough-minded clarity.
In the story of "Christ and culture" Mark is someone who sees common ground where others see battle lines; someone more likely to be building bridges than digging trenches. And though his Christian faith runs very deep, Mark is not one to bandy God-talk or resort quickly or glibly to pious language—and this is why he so naturally enters intoconversation with those writers and thinkers of other folds who are and ought to be our allies in the culture at large.
This is where I see Mark's most valued gifting—in his open, insightful engagement with our current cultural moment, yet his simultaneous grounding in the tradition that lends guidance and biblical wisdom to decision making and action. Phrases like "moral imagination" and "critical loyalty" naturally issue from Mark because he lives out these complex and crucial ways of being among us. We will miss this man's caring, insightful leadership at Gordon College, and I will miss a dear personal friend when Mark moves to Westmont College to become their new Provost.
Where the West Coast may see a returning native son, we see an irreplaceable legacy of careful, loving leadership by one of the most gifted men ever to serve at this small but solid New England college.
Bruce Herman joined the Gordon faculty in 1984, and was instrumental in developing the art major. He was awarded the first fully endowed distinguished chair at Gordon in 2006, the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts. His art has been exhibited internationally.

Pan, a mischievous-looking satyr, has been charming visitors from his perch at Gansevoort Street for nearly a year. Created by artist Sean Landers, the sculpture is part of Busted, a High Line Art group exhibition.
But what does a satyr wear to the High Line? Landers decided to clothe Pan in a Scottish kilt "to keep him warm during the cold winter months," says Cecilia Alemani, the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Curator & Director of High Line Art. The kilt was custom made by Albion Highland London using the tartan "Angus Dress 1998." (If you have a few minutes, we suggest you take a look through this online tartan database. And this one too.)
A thief stripped Pan of his original garment stolen after only two weeks on the High Line, necessitating the creation of yet another diminutively proportioned kilt with a satyr-sized tail-hole. In the interim, nude Pan made for a lot of entertaining photographs, as you can see below. To see Pan and his securely fastened second kilt, come to Gansevoort Street by March 30, when we begin deinstallation of Busted. And for more photos of Pan through the seasons, check out High Line Art's Instagram.

This trailer for Star Ocean 4, the latest in the successful line of Japanese-style RPGs, shows us just some of the strange interplanetary phenomena we'll visit, and the spaceships we'll use to visit them. And the game's main character has the awesome name of Edge Maverick. Click through for more details.
Sadly, the trailer shows us very little about the game's plot or gameplay. The English-language title screens reveal the game will be a prequel to the other Star Ocean games, but publishers Tri-Ace and Square Enix have been very tightlipped with details since announcing the game in September of 2007.
All we know for sure is that the game will combine sci-fi and fantasy elements, allow the player to control a spaceship and explore different planets. And it features a hero named Edge Maverick. They haven't even announced the platform yet. The game has an official website, but there's nothing there beyond a pretty intro screen. The animation style of the trailer is interesting - at times it's hard to tell if you're looking at traditional animation or CGI. For some reason it reminds me of the old Voltron cartoon. Someone please explain to me why no one's made a Voltron video game yet.

Playoff time has arrived on the diamond
It's hard to believe that the postseason for all of LeFlore County's fast-pitch softball teams (except Poteau) and fall baseball teams has arrived. It just seemed like the season started just a couple of weeks ago.But the reality is the playoffs in Classes 3A, 2A, A and B in fast-pitch softhball and Classes A and B in fall baseball will begin this week with district tournaments.The complete district-tournament schedules are at the end of this column.A Clerical ErrorI would like to think of myself as perfect, but in reality only God and Jesus are perfect.Thanks to a good individual, it was pointed out to me that I was in error in Saturday's edition with regard to the LeFlore County Fast-Pitch Tournament.The Poteau girls have only three-peated in the Fast-Pitch Tournament, winning in 2009, 2010 and this year. The Whitesboro Lady Bulldogs were the last non-Poteau team to win the title, doing so in 2008.I just want to thank my friend for setting me straight — and I got to thinking, he also did so last year at this time, with regard to the same issue.I hope this will be the only mistake I make from now on, but I know that won't be the case.ScheduleSoftballTodayPoteau at Panama, 4 p.m.Talihina and Howe at Heavener, 4 p.m. (Talihina vs. Heavener, 4 p.m.; Talihina vs. Howe, 5:15 p.m.; Howe vs. Heavener, 6:30 p.m.)Spiro at Wister, 3:30 p.m.Bokoshe at Keota, DH, 4 p.m.Leflore at Kinta, 5 p.m.Pocola at Sallisaw, 4 p.m.WednesdayClass B District TournamentAt McCurtainBokoshe vs. Panola, 11:30 a.m.; Bokoshe-Panola loser vs. McCurtain, 1 p.m.; Bokoshe-Panola winner vs. McCurtain, 2:30 p.m.; Title game, 4 p.m.; If-Game, 5:30 p.m.ThursdayPlayoffsClass 3A District TournamentsEufaula at Heavener, 4, 5:30 and 7 p.m.Stigler at Spiro, DH, 2:30 p.m.Class 2A District TournamentsPocola at Panama, DH, 6 p.m.Talihina at Wister, 3:30, 5 and 6:30 p.m.Class A District Tournament at KeotaPorum vs. Keota, 1 p.m.; Howe vs. Porum-Keota loser, 3 p.m.; Howe vs. Porum-Keota winner, 5 p.m.Class B District TournamentsAt BraggsArkoma vs. Cave Springs, noon; Arkoma-Cave Springs loser vs. Braggs, 1:30 p.m.; Arkoma-Cave Springs winner vs. Braggs, 3 p.m.; Title Game, 4:30 p.m.; If-Game, 6 p.m.At Red OakLeflore at Red Oak, 11 a.m., 12:30 and 2 p.m.At BattiestWhitesboro vs. Battiest, 10 a.m.; Whitesboro-Battiest loser vs. Eagletown, 11:30 a.m.; Whitesboro-Battiest winner vs. Eagletown, 1 p.m.; Title Game, 2:30 p.m.; If-Game, 4 p.m.FridayPlayoffsClass 3A District TournamentStigler at Spiro, TBA.Class 2A District TournamentPocola at Panama, TBA.Class A District TournamentHowe and Porum at Keota: Title Game, 1 p.m.; If-Game, 3 p.m.MondayRed Oak at Poteau, 4 p.m.BaseballTodayRed Oak at Wister, DH, 4 p.m.ThursdayPlayoffsClass A District TournamentsAt WisterHowe vs. Crowder, 2 p.m.; Howe-Crowder loser vs. Wister, 4 p.m.; Howe-Crowder winner vs. Wister, 6 p.m.At OktahaCameron vs. Okay, noon; Preston vs. Oktaha, 2 p.m.; Cameron-Okay winner vs. Preston-Oktaha winner, 4 p.m.; Cameron-Okay loser vs. Preston-Oktaha loser, 6 p.m.Class B District TournamentAt Buffalo ValleyWhitesboro vs. Buffalo Valley, 1 p.m.; Whitesboro-Buffalo Valley loser vs. Leflore, 3 p.m.; Whitesboro-Buffalo Valley winner vs. Leflore, 5 p.m.FridayClass A District TournamentsHowe and Crowder at Wister: Title Game, 2 p.m.; If-Game, 4 p.m.Cameron, Okay and Preston at Oktaha: Games at 2 and 4 p.m. (tentative)Class B District TournamentLeflore and Whitesboro at Buffalo Valley: Title Game and/or If-Game, TBA.Saturday's Class A District TournamentCameron, Okay and Preston at Oktaha: If-Game (if needed), TBA.

quote:Brownie points for the first person to guess what my e-mail alert sound is.
shamlen wins the brownie points, but an honourable mention for Molitors because I've got the Mac 'purr' sound as my 'text message received' sound.
I forgot about the wonderful dogcow! I whipped this up for myself.
Do you mind if I convert it to 640x480 so that I can use it on my phone?
Knock yourself out! Here's the photoshop if that's helpful.
moof psd
Here's a few I found:
And here's one I made (more Clarus Lovin')
sadly just a cow, not a dogcow, but this is my current wallpaper.
I should have thought to take the photo in portrait though so it fitted better as an iPhone wallpaper. Damn shortsightedness!
Okay, I'll throw my dogcow wallpaper up here too:
Mine uses Chicago, so it's better
Haha I used to see that Culver City Meat truck all over the place. Probably not the same one but still...
Okay, one more:
Strange. When I import a few of these (320x480 at full resolution) into Aperture, and then load them onto the iPhone, they come across heavily compressed by iTunes as they're "prepared". Any way around that?
yeah, but mine is retro-pixelated, which is juxtaposed against the high tech iPhone UI, leading to technological irony.
So there.
I can't decide which of these (courtesy of the lounge's current PC++ thread) I like best so I've been swapping between them all day.
Before that I was using:
OK, I guess I can get into this now that I think of it more as a boot screen and not a wallpaper. I've been happily using a nice simple HAL 9000 for the last week (which I won't post since I made it from someone else's artwork), but I think I'm now going to go with this guy right here.
And no, I guess PNG wasn't the solution to the resampling issue, and neither is B/W GIF.
One from tonight's storm:
Yeah, I guess you got me there. Curse you and your retro-ness!
but if you take a retro item, then make it modern, and then put it on a modern device, you've added another level of ironicitude! The only thing better would be to take old clarus, make him new, and then put put him in a picture of an iPhone and make that the startup of your Newton!
here's another in the retro vein
My band just had a promotional poster commissioned. I think it looks nice on the iPhone screen.
* Head asplodes *
For those of you with who mentioned earlier having the Moof! and mac 'purr' sounds as notifications; is there a place to get these audio files? Can you post links to them, or does that violate some kind of copyright?
I ask because I would like to hear/use them myself =)
Also, does the concept of custom notification sounds (both for computers, and mobile devices) warrant its own thread, because I love this kind of junk =D
And, as to not hijack the thread, here is my current iPhone wallpaper; taken from my phone at my local deli while waiting for a sammich:
4 posts below a picture of Clarus? That's just wrong.
My apologies. I knew I should have taken another shot with the bacon center stage instead of off to the left.
Near where I live. Taken yesterday during the first of four fireworks events in Vancouver.
Ha ha! Got it fixed. Turns out, Aperture was set to generate 1/2 resolution previews: fine for 10 MP images, but a terrible idea for iPhone wallpapers. I set the previews to full-size, deleted the previews, and resynced. All is well now.
Got this one from another forum and thought it might be appreciated here.
Pulled these from the old thread. Meta474 took the pictures. Really like these. Hope he doesn't mind.
The one I've got on my iPhone right now, is a photo of my girlfriend's canadian white shepherd.
But here are some other ones that I like very much:
The last one I made myself out of a GEO postcard.
A smaller version of this. I think I'm in love with whomever this girl is.
I assume you're a New Yorker using 'that' wallpaper.
This thread needs more Clarus please!
Do any of you put "reward if found ; please contact ..." bits in your wallpapers?
Or do you engrave the equivalent on the back?
Or do you figure that if you left your iPhone someplace, no chance in hell you'll ever get it back anyway?
I figure that if I lose my first-gen iPhone, it just gives me a good excuse to buy a new iPhone 3G.
Hey guys, someone told me my photos were on here so I figured I'd add a few more I made for myself:
That one is of the Seattle waterfront. It's some dumpsters! Seems weird but it works well as an iphone wallpaper, plus it fits Seattle's grunge feel. (HOMELESS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE)
that one is a chunk of glacier floating in a tarn in Rocky Mountain NP.
Feel free to use any of my photos for iphone wallpapers (obviously just don't try to turn a profit). My favorites set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/m...s/72157602972796608/

Salibury Staves Off Haverford, 12-11
May 19, 2010
SALISBURY, Md. - It was undoubtedly one of the most heated men's lacrosse games played at Sea Gull Stadium this season. In an NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse quarterfinal contest between the No. 2 Salisbury University Sea Gulls and the No. 11 Haverford Fords which was tied eight times, the Sea Gulls came from behind and prevailed in a thrilling 12-11 overtime victory.
Salisbury (20-1) opened up the scoring, quickly netting two goals within just six seconds of each other; the second of those goals was a one-man play as senior midfielder Ryan Finch (Finksburg, Md.) won his face-off and sprinted down field for the score. Undeterred, the Fords ticked off the next three straight goals to take a one-score lead into the second quarter.
Haverford (12-6) would strike first in the second quarter to take a 4-2 lead over the Gulls, but Salisbury quickly settled and netted three consecutive goals to regain the lead. The next two scores belonged to Haverford, though, and the Fords took a 6-5 lead going into halftime.
The Sea Gulls refused to trail. Senior attackman Jake DeLillo (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) fired a shot just 17 seconds into the third quarter past Ford keeper Joe Banno to knot up the game once again. The back-and-forth play continued as both teams rushed up the field, scoring one goal before allowing the other team to score.
With just 33 seconds left in the contest and the Fords holding an 11-10 lead, it looked as if Salisbury wouldn't have the opportunity to play for the program's ninth national championship. Junior midfielder Shawn Zordani (Littleton, Colo.) thought otherwise. He ripped a shot past Banno to tie up the contest at 11 apiece. Sea Gull fans erupted in celebration.
That celebration, though, would pale in comparison to the roar that would ensue after Finch won his 18th face-off of the day, tore down the field and netted the game-winning goal just 12 seconds into the overtime period. The goal, his second of the day, earned the Gulls what will be the program's 19th NCAA tournament semifinal appearance.
Four Sea Gulls scored two goals each in the victory: Zordani, sophomore attackman Matt Cannone (Bayport, N.Y.), senior midfielder Mike Von Kamecke (Winter Park, Fla.) and Finch, whose two goals mark a new career high for the senior. Salisbury outshot Haverford 37-35, and junior goalkeeper Johnny Rodriguez (Gambrills, Md.) posted 10 saves.
Salisbury will host Stevenson University, which defeated Roanoke College in overtime to advance, in an NCAA semifinal contest. The Sea Gulls and Mustangs have met twice before this season; Salisbury prevailed in the first contest, 16-10, before falling to Stevenson in the CAC championship game. The date and time of the game have yet to be determined; check back on www.suseagulls.com for updates.

As 2008 nears an end, it's clear that this was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Well, actually, I'm not sure it was the best of times, but it's always reassuring to start out with a Dickens quote.
A look back on '08 actually offers proof that there were some good times — but there were also some troubling trends.
- It was a difficult year for film titles: "Quantum of Solace"; "Synecdoche, New York"; "Nights in Rodanthe"; "Passchendaele"; "Drillbit Taylor"; "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist"; "Zack & Miri Make a Porno"; and "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2."
- It was certainly a tough year for children. In "Australia" and "Slumdog Millionaire," the youngsters are orphaned, slapped around, threatened with murder and covered in crap. Dakota Fanning got abused in "The Secret Life of Bees" and raped in "Hounddog." God only knows what happened to the boy in "Doubt." And don't even ask about the kids in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas." But all these children had an easy time of it compared with the little nippers in "Changeling."
- It was a good year for actors over 50. Harrison Ford proved that 65-year-olds can be action heroes, Clint Eastwood kicked the butt of a teenager, Meryl Streep hit a personal best at the box office, and Ben Kingsley made out with Mary-Kate Olsen in "The Wackness." Frank Langella, Mickey Rourke and Richard Jenkins gave breakthrough performances — at a time when a lot of actors get more mannered and hammy, or are relegated to a few lines as the feisty grandparent.
- It was a big year for No. 2 pencils, since Heath Ledger's the Joker found a new (and unforgettable) use for one in "The Dark Knight."
- With boffo B.O. for "Sex and the City," "Mamma Mia!" and "Twilight," it was a great year for women, but not for "The Women."
- The 1970s live on, as "Frost/Nixon" and "Milk" served as vivid reminders of that era, while "Mamma Mia!" confirmed that '70s group Abba will be with us for the rest of our lives.
- It was a groovy year for druggies ("Pineapple Express," "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay," "Tropic Thunder," "The Wackness") and recovering druggies ("Rachel Getting Married").
- It's a wonderful year for death. The holidays bring not one, not two, but three big Hollywood star vehicles about mortality: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Gran Torino" and "Seven Pounds."
- Jon Favreau had a banner year, directing "Iron Man" (which grossed $582 million). On the other hand, he'll have to put up with endless confusion over the fact that Barack Obama's chief speechwriter is someone named Jon Favreau.
- It was a tough year for awards shows. Two words: Golden Globes. Six more words: That ceremony hosted by entertainment reporters. Whatever else you say about it, you gotta admit it was a ceremony to remember. And since this column is about movies, it would be gratuitous to take another swipe at the Emmycast. But feel free.
And good luck to all of us in the new year!

Consumer sentiment sours in January(Read article summary)
Consumer sentiment declined from the prior month with a reading of 71.3, the lowest consumer sentiment level seen since December 2011, according to data from the Reuters/University of Michigan Survey of Consumers.
Today's early release of the Reuters/University of Michigan Survey of Consumers for January indicated an decline in consumer sentiment from the prior month with a reading of 71.3, the lowest level seen since December 2011 and a decline of 4.93% on an annual basis while one year inflation expectations rose to 3.4%.
The Index of Consumer Expectations (a component of the Conference Board's Index of Leading Economic Indicators) also declined falling to 62.7 while the Current Economic Conditions Index slumped to 84.4.
It's important to recognize that consumer sentiment has seriously eroded over the past few months with the current results remaining near levels not seen since 1980, a major indication that consumers are in the process of tightening even further on spending.

Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, after a meeting Monday with Gov. Cuomo and Western New York lawmakers, is supporting the governor in his dispute with the Canadian authorities over improvements to the Peace Bridge. The governor and lawmakers will move to dissolve the Buffalo Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority if an agreement cannot be reached. This way, New York can move forward with an economic development plan on the American side of the Peace Bridge.
"We need to do what is right for Western New York and our economy," Ceretto said. "The improvements that are currently being held up by the Buffalo Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority are long overdue and we need to get moving on them. If we cannot come to an agreement with the Canadian authorities on these improvements, then we need to dissolve our relationship with them on the Bridge Authority and move unilaterally to make the improvements that are needed."
The dispute between Cuomo and the Canadian authorities centers around improvements that need to be made on both the American and Canadian sides of the Peace Bridge. On the American side, the aging bridge needs to be re-decked, and a pre-inspection facility needs to be built in Fort Erie in order to ease truck congestion. Ceretto's camp said the Canadians are adamant that improvements cannot be made on the American side until improvements on the Canadian side are made first. This has resulted in a stalemate in negotiations that has forced the governor to move to dissolve the Bridge Authority so that improvements on the American side can move forward.
"Ultimately, I hope that the two sides can come to an agreement so we can continue what has been a good partnership up to this point," Ceretto said. "However, if the Canadians continue to be unyielding in their demands, then we have no choice but to move forward on our own."
